I’m not sure about $3000.00, but this chandelier made of wine glasses is really neat looking. I suppose the price tag is a result of the “vintage” wine glasses, but I’m sure that this project can be done relatively easily and at a much lower cost, I’m thinking not more than $100-$120. What will you need? A bunch of “straggler” wine glasses, you know, the ones that are left after the rest in the set are broken. Some epoxy, a little wire, and a nice(r) light fixture from that great orange hardware store. A little wiring know-how, and some nice wine to go along with it would be nice. While you’re messing with wine glasses and wires, how about you take a look at the Electricity Wine Arc from wrapables.com?

Luxist mentions a bottle of Pinot Noir with a catchy label.

Pottery Barn has a decanter on sale for $20.00.

Riders refusing to sign an anti-doping pledge next week will be excluded from the Tour de France. I don’t see any problem with this.
